Ep 26: ROAR into Life + Living ON Purpose with Lauren DeVera
10/08/21 • 71 min
In a collective society that demands so much of our time and energy, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Lauren and I divinely connected in a Clubhouse talk at the beginning of this year that I randomly hosted on Burnout and Mental Health for Entrepreneurs, and when she spoke on our stage, I was enamored by her presence and fire 🔥 for life...she reminded me so much of myself.
And it wasn’t until this conversation that I knew why we were connected, and stayed connected after this talk sharing our stories of being first Gen Americans to immigrant parents, and the expectations of living “The American Dream” to living her dream, to living life ON purpose as a certified life coach, trauma informed facilitator + proud Mama and Founder of The Lion’s Den!
From the “mat to the mic” get ready to hear Lauren ROAR in her Lioness fashion! (Also her dancer name!)
